"Two nobles, please sit down." The court lady served refreshments, blessed the two, and retreated aside.
In the past, Gu Rujiu entered the palace and met the empress directly. Perhaps this time because of the presence of Mrs. Li, she was led by the court lady to the partial palace, waiting for the empress to appear.
The partial hall of Kangquan Palace is spacious and bright, and the decoration in the house is also very elegant. It can be seen that this is the place where the queen mother often used to treat the women.
Gu Rujiu just picked up the teacup, and Wu began to say: "Some days I don't see, can Gu girl be okay?"
Although Wu had intended to raise relatives like Gu's son for her son, the trustee explored the tone and found that Gu's family had no intention, and she did not mention the matter again. Fortunately, things didn't spread, so there was no need to be too embarrassed between the two.
Now that childish child had already begun to show beauty, but the eyebrows were still innocent, showing that Gu's family protected her well, if her daughter was still ...
Wu's eyes were slightly dark, and the emotion of drinking was masked by the action of drinking tea.
"Mrs. Lau Li misses everything, and everything is fine." Gu Rujiu smiled politely, and Gu Rujiu's reasonable answer was close to Wu's.
Wu's eyes fell on the Furong jade that Gu Rujiu used to press the corners of the skirt, and blew his mouth gently.
Although Gu's family is only second-class, but his family is rich, which is much richer than Yang Guogong's well-known scholarly family. Otherwise, a jade piece used to press the corner of the skirt is so extraordinary.
Thinking of the queen mother's love for the second Gu family girl and the sage's closeness to the Gu family, Wu's guess about one of his own hearts was almost becoming more and more certain.
If the expectation comes true, then the two of them happened to have a chance today.
Putting down the tea cup, Wu's tone softly said: "The last time I saw you, you were still a little girl, and it was so big in a blink of an eye."
The last time Gu Rujiu saw Wu was still on the outskirts of the city. That day was when the Li family girl had an accident. I was afraid that she would have noticed Wu, and Wu was not in the mood to look at others.
"The juniors have indeed not seen you for some days," Gu Rujiu said innocently and harmlessly, "How have you been recently?"
"I'm fine too." Wu smiled, the standard of the smile was exquisite, and people could not pick out any flaws.
In fact, how can a mother who lost her daughter get better?
In all fairness, Wu is not a pretty woman, but she has an unspeakable dignity and a soft face, and looks like an extremely good person. However, everything is a manifestation. How can a person who can sit in the position of the head of the big family be as gentle as it seems.
Gu Rujiu doesn't feel very cold about this kind of life in her heart. She doesn't want to walk alive and become a living specimen that many people admire?
The two didn't really have anything to say. After politely saying a few words to each other, the room quieted down, but I didn't know whether it was because Wu's body was too calm and Gu Rujiu didn't feel embarrassed.
After about two columns of incense, Empress Zhou appeared in front of the two before embracing. After the two met the empress, the Empress Zhou asked them to sit down again.
Empress Zhou's attitude towards Wu was very polite, and the politeness was almost bland. Gu Rujiu perceived that the queen mother didn't seem to like this person very much.
Sure enough, after a while, Wu's got up and said goodbye. After the Queen Mother kept her for a while, she no longer insisted and let Wu leave.
"Don't you think for a long time, why do I have an ordinary attitude towards her?" After Wu's departure, most of Zhou's nobleness and dignity disappeared, holding Gu Rujiu's hand to stand up, smiling and saying, "Go, talk inside."
"It's weird," Gu Rujiu thought for a while, "I think you seem to dislike her a little."
"That's how she treated me," said Empress Zhou. The tone was flat. "When I first entered the palace, I hadn't been promoted to the throne. When the female court of the Chinese court came to see me in the palace, Wu looked at me like he was looking at one. Poor woman. "
Never heard the Empress Dowager mentioned this, Gu Rujiu was a little stunned, looking up at Empress Zhou's face, and found the other party's expression calm.
"It seems to be sympathizing with others, but it is just content with your pride," Empress Zhou looked at Gu Rujiu. "If you are truly sympathetic, you won't be in that position."
Gu Rujiu understood the meaning of the Empress Dowager. If she really distressed someone, she must be careful to avoid her past pains instead of embarrassing her again.
Perhaps Wu did not mean that, but for the Empress Zhou at that time, it was definitely not a happy thing to be looked at with that kind of eyes.
"Empress Dowager, Mrs. Wei is here to please you." Aunt Liu walked to the two of them and whispered, "It seems that the slave-servant looked at Mrs. Wei Wei not well."
Empress Zhou frowned at the words: "Let her come in."
Gu Rujiu helped her sit down in place and then stood beside her.
She has entered the palace many times, but she has only met Mrs. Wei once, and there are still empresses and empresses present.
When Princess Toffee came in, Gu Rujiu was taken aback, and she couldn't believe that the haggard, thin and shrivelled woman in front of her was Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei is still less than thirty this year. How does it look like a woman in her 30s or 40s?
"The concubine Wei asked the empress dowager for peace." As soon as she came in, Mrs. Wei gave a big gift to Empress Zhou. Gu Rujiu hurriedly turned sideways, avoiding the ceremony of Toffee Wei, and blessed her.
Toffee Wei noticed her movement, her eyelids twitched slightly, and then lowered her head properly.
"You don't have to do such a big gift, please sit down." There were no more grudges in the past, and seeing such a concubine Wei, Empress Zhou had no idea. What's more, the two were just a little contradiction in the past, and they haven't reached the point of enmity.
Why do women embarrass women? The contradictions of these harem women all originated from Xiandi. Now Xiandi has long been ancient. Why do these women who stay behind have a good day, but to remember each other for such a man?
"Please help me!" Mrs. Wei's mother's family was ousted from her post last year because she acted ridiculously. Even the third-class uncle's title was lost, and their family was not productive. Now it is just relying on the past The old book, a messy life.
The mother-in-law family was unreliable, and the concubine Wei was not able to leave the palace. The days were not easy. In addition, several concubines who had hatred with her in the past also tried their best to live with her, so the life became more difficult.
"I knew it so, why did you have it," Empress Zhou saw that the clothes on her body were clean, but she could still see the traces of the folds, and guessed that the clothes should be the bottom of Mrs. Wei's press box. If you are kind to He, Qian and others, it will not end today. "
Wei was still young when she entered the palace. It was the time when she was naive. Until the death of the first emperor, she was always the most favored concubine in the harem. Perhaps it was the emperor's favor that made her ecstatic. On weekdays, she actually worked out these things that were not favored by the concubine. If it weren't for her, Queenstown, in the harem, I was afraid that Wei's actions would be more crazy.
"The concubine has already made a mistake. Please ask the empress do something good for the concubine in front of the other sisters." Wei's tears broke down, apparently he was afraid of such a day, and finally he could only ask the empress to come here.
Gu Rujiu looked at all this silently, and felt that a woman like Wei was both hateful and pathetic. He knew that he was a man who couldn't help himself, but he still had to rely on a little bit of love from a man, but embarrassed another woman.
In the end, the Empress Dowager sent the Wei family back, and the people who waited strictly should not neglect the concubines. But she didn't intend to control the contradiction between several toffees.
Drinking and pecking makes sense. If she sees Wei's pity, she helps her. Then, how many concubines have been bullied by her in the past, should she be tossed alive by her? So as long as these people do not make trouble, she will keep her eyes closed.
After Wei's departure, Empress Zhou discovered Gu Rujiu's expression was somewhat sullen, and said: "What happened for a long time?"
"I just thought it was quite boring," Gu Rujiu did not disguise his thoughts, and said to Mrs. Zhou, "What's the point of doing this for a lifetime."
"What does it mean to be a victim of their family interests," Empress Zhou chuckled, "The emperor is willing to accept it, and their parents are willing to give it away, and their own wishes are less important. The palace is like Wei's. There are also a lot of people who voluntarily enter the palace for wealth and glory. "
Gu Rujiu didn't listen, but in her opinion, if the emperor had no intention of accepting the concubine, then this situation would be avoided.
"The so-called is the same, both men and women in the world, only the world's preference for men, so that they have more choices," said the Queen Mother Zhou, blinking at Gu Rujiu, "If this world is a daughter's home, power It ’s all in the hands of women, maybe it ’s the same as it is now, only the gender is reversed. "
Gu Rujiu was silent, with emotion in her heart. The queen mother was still very bold in her thoughts.
But when I thought of those princesses who had left out their husbands and kept a bunch of heads, Gu Rujiu felt that it might still make sense for the Empress Dowager.
"So, there are only so many people who are struggling for power and money between these worlds, because these things make people feel more down-to-earth than people who can't see them," Zhou Empress patted Gu Rujiu. Hand, "This is why I tried my best to give you a title."
Gu Rujiu swallowed: "Thank you aunt for your trouble."
It seems that her consciousness is not high enough.
"You, my aunt and nephew, don't have to say these polite words," the Queen Mother smiled, "I arranged your residence in the Xi Pei Dian, where the scenery is good and close to where I live, your little girl like flowers It ’s the most suitable place to live. Other places are more noble and inspiring. The little girl lives in those places, which is not conducive to self-cultivation. "
Empress Zhou was telling her niece about the importance of residence to her daughter's house. A court lady came to the newspaper and said that the emperor was here.
Stretching her hands and touching her temples, Empress Zhou nodded and said, "Let your majesty wait for a while, and I will come later." After that, she turned to look at Gu Rujiu, "Can you go with me for a long time?"
Gu Rujiu thought that he would enter the palace and live there, how could he salute the emperor, so he nodded.
